Hello heywood , you have done wonderful seeking my Barrass family out and i don`t think thats Robert in 1851 ether.   So Robert was born Bedlington i see age 3 as he was born Bedlington on later census. Thats super and i have appreciated your help very much. Regards Gladys  :) :)

That's the only Robert b around the right time. I don't know the area at all and from what I can see they moved around a lot - to get work I suppose at the various pits.

There is another one:
1851 HO107; Piece: 2390; Folio: 248; Page: 27
Frankland Colliery Houses Framwell Gate Durham
Robert aged 16 yrs coal miner b Durham 'Jarrer' (Jarrow?)
parents Thomas and Hannah.

but we could be just clutching at straws. I have tried to check 1841 with no results either  :'(

Hello again heywood,    i shall keep that census as Robert in 1861 was 31 so should have been about 21 in 1851 but i know some people them days forgot their ages and can be 5 or 6 years out. You have done very well.  Many many thanks.  Regards Gladys. :)

Elizabeth is "with" Robert on Census 1861 .

She is enumerated as the "household" after his .

....    She is recorded as "wife" "Married" and " housekeeper

Elizabeth (nee Scott) was married to George Emery from Wales at the time of the 1861 census.  Robert Barrass and Elizabeth Emery (formerly Scott) were married Dec Qtr 1869 in Tynemouth.

Please would some kind person do me a look up for Robert Barrass aged about 41 born Percey Main, his wife Elisabeth aged about 40 born Gosforth, Johnstone E aged about 9 born Belsed, James E aged about 5 born Belsed (Belsed must be a miss spelling for something else.)   Much Appreciated. gladys1 :)
Hi Gladys

I already sent you this census to your email address on 7th October, along with other census info and details about this family, hope you have been receiving them?  Let me know if you haven't!

LOL, this took me at least 48 man hours of searching for!!

It is this one -

1851 Heswell, South Hetton
Robert Barrass  Head  Marr  28/23  Coal Miner  Northumberland, Percy Main
Elizabeth          Wife           24                     Durham, ?hard to read??

It is just a few doors away from the rest of his family:

Cuthbert Barrass  Head   Marr   57    Coal Miner
Elizabeth            Wife               52
Cuthbert             Son                21    Coal Miner
John                    Son                18    Coal Miner
Rich                     Son                16    Coal Miner
Aaron                   Son                14    Coal Miner 


Bit of a headache to find    ;)
